Baby Inspiration Pin Board

I saw a friend "liked" the company Minted on Facebook and shared that they were having an inspiration board challenge.  I have always loved looking at my friends' inspiration boards but have never done one on my own.  Now, with my addiction to Pinterest, I really have not felt the need to make one.  But, with this challenge, I decided to challenge myself, too, in hopes of maybe winning a contest!

The idea was to take one of their baby announcements and make a inspiration board based on one of their designs.  Let me say that their designs are gorgeous!  This might be one of my new favorite stationery sites!  I had a hard time picking which one to ultimately work with because they were all so beautiful!  And, even though my little one is now a toddler (TEARS!), I picked one with her in mind.  I chose a vintage style that fits my personality so well.  It's traditional, colorful, pretty and has a touch of modernity to it.  Honestly, if I were to have a little girl again sometime soon, I'd probably pick this design for my announcement.  It's called "fairy tale beginnings" and it really spoke to me!  The name was the focus for my inspiration board, as I went with fairy tale & story themed images. 

Clockwise from top left:  a pastel subway art name piece with baby's birth info; princess crowns made from lace and fabric stiffener; a princess castle fort made of pvc pipe; a dress-up station; a princess parking sign; and the fairy tale beginnings announcement.
